Ark Simulator, Aren't I Supposed to Be Intangible?

With the information provided by Su Rui, Lappland gently opened the door to VIP room 2 and saw a minister inside with a surprised expression. She smiled.

"Miss Lappland? Is there something you need from me?"

"Of course, I just want to borrow something from you."

Lappland approached with a smile, and as the minister cowered and tried to retreat, she suddenly drew her sword, piercing his heart with a single strike. Then, still smiling, she continued, "I'll take your life."

Then, watching the minister before her stare wide-eyed as he died, Lappland sheathed her sword, blood dripping from its blade onto the carpet. She nimbly strode towards the door.

"What a pity, I have quite a few targets ahead of me, otherwise I could use you to make mille-feuille... I wonder if that guy Su Rui would like it?"

"...'Millennium pastry' actually refers to piling up pieces of a corpse; it's Syracuse slang."

'I know, I know Syracuse quite well.'

Su Rui snuggled into Vulpisfoglia's arms. "But I still quite like regular mille-feuille; it tastes good."

'I'll cook for you after that.'

'OK.'

Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia were cuddling together, while Lappland was still in the Banquet Hall, carrying her twin swords and searching for her targets one by one.

One person enjoys appearing in public out of personal interest, so Lappland placed him last.

However, when she finished her hunt and went to find her last target, her opponent obviously wouldn't wait for her, leaving Lappland standing in the hall, somewhat bewildered, with her blood-dripping twin swords in hand.

Then, she took her phone out of her pocket.

Volume 7, page 425: The number you dialed is not in service area.

"Didi, the user you dialed is not in service area, please try again later."

Lappland had barely taken out her phone, and before she even turned on the screen, Su Rui answered the call and said the following.

I knew you were watching me.

Standing in the now-empty banquet hall, Lappland looked down over the entire space, a pleased smile playing on her lips.

"So tell me, where did my last goal go?"

"Our cooperation doesn't include me providing you with further intelligence on that matter. If you can't do that, then you can't do it."

"Why should I bother finding it myself when you're helping me? Just tell me the answer, don't you want to see the fireworks show later?"

"You really dare to say that. What if you die halfway through?"

Even though Su Rui wasn't exactly treating Lappland well while she was with Vulpisfoglia, she still sent her the coordinates Lappland needed:

"Alright, I've sent you the coordinates you requested. That guy's hiding in his house now. Shouldn't he be looking for his protector at a time like this? Alone... does he think his house is some kind of castle?"

"Who knows? Maybe he even expects the assassins to respect other people's private property?"

Lappland let out a somewhat paranoid laugh, then glanced at the address Su Rui had sent her phone, shoved the phone into her breast pocket, and walked outside.

"What are you talking about?" Vulpisfoglia reached out and pinched Su Rui's cheek in her arms with some confusion. She understood most of what Su Rui meant, but some of the words contained double entendres, which made Vulpisfoglia not quite clear.

"It's like Columbia's Castle Doctrine, which talks about the sanctity of private property, that my house can be entered by the wind and rain but not by the king. But in practice, it's all just empty talk, a propaganda tool to deceive people. They themselves are the ones who show the least respect for other people's property."

Vulpisfoglia nodded: 'So you're still mocking Columbia?'

'Yes, it was just a small favor, no need to thank me.'

Su Rui nodded. "Let's look forward to tomorrow morning's newspapers. When everyone realizes that almost all the so-called ministers who have any say in city management have been taken down in a single day, I wonder what kind of chaos Syracuse will descend into?"

' Syracuse is chaotic enough, but what changes do you anticipate here?'

Since Su Rui can predict his opponent's moves, it's only natural that he can predict the development of Mobile City like Syracuse, right?

'Actually, there's not much to say. From the perspective of these mafia members, either everyone gets a share, one group dominates, or nobody gets anything.'

'What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all? Use your brain, Su Rui. You just don't want to think, right?' Vulpisfoglia pinched Su Rui's cheek again, somewhat helplessly.

'Well, actually there are many possibilities for prediction, so my prediction is that none of them have a chance. The future of New Wolseini has actually been decided by Mrs. Sicilian long ago, and there will be no interference from family power.'

As Su Rui spoke, she snuggled closer to Vulpisfoglia, then said in a nonchalant tone:

However, none of this is actually important. Family feuds and conflicts of interest, from a macro perspective, and in terms of their impact on the general public, are not particularly significant. The Syracuse Mafia is indeed annoying, but these guys actually have almost no influence on the course of history.

Syracuse acquired the technology to build new Mobile City. With New Wolseini, other new Mobile City will follow. Regardless of whether gangs get involved, cities and nations develop step by step. The only difference is that without the Mafia, there are fewer bloodsuckers, allowing for faster development.

Vulpisfoglia nodded. Although Su Rui's words were full of disdain for the Mafia, including the Venice Family, from the new perspective Su Rui presented, Su Rui was indeed not wrong.

There was no need to show the process of Lappland chasing down the last minister; all that was needed was for her to enjoy the process of making a mille-feuille at the end.

Lappland even tried to intimidate Su Rui with the scene before her. "Su Rui, are you still watching? Do you like this meticulously crafted mille-feuille?"

"... I do enjoy scenes of releasing energy, but if you're trying to disgust me with that, I think you're really not going to bother."

As Su Rui spoke, Canon and Vulpisfoglia snuggled together on the soft bed, enjoying snacks and drinks while watching Lappland run around. Suri then raised an eyebrow at Lappland.

"I also have mille-feuille pastries here, but the kind you can eat."

As she spoke, Vulpisfoglia actually Su Rui by picking up a piece of mille-feuille pastry and holding it to Su Rui's mouth, so that Su Rui could eat while giving Lappland a mocking look.

"..." Lappland was speechless for a moment, and pressed the hang-up button directly, but since she was using a mobile phone, which is also an electronic device, and Su Rui didn't want her to hang up, she couldn't hang up the call.

"Hmph." Lappland snorted, turned off her phone, and then put it in her pocket.

Turning off the phone at that time only prevented Lappland from seeing Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia; Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia could still see what Lappland looked like at that moment through the Scanning Vision.

'Isn't it interesting how Lappland grits her teeth? She's usually so composed and polite, as if nothing can affect her.'

'Beneath that composure lies madness. She's not your host; it's best not to provoke her.'

Out of an insatiable desire to protect Su Rui's safety, Vulpisfoglia still hoped that Su Rui could restrain herself a bit.

'No, that's precisely why I want to see her finally break down and show her true, insane side.'

Su Rui shrugged. "But you can rest assured, when I'm being reckless, I'll always make sure I don't die first, otherwise it's not reckless, but rather courting death."

'Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?'

'Pizza and spaghetti bolognese, oh, Syracuse spaghetti bolognese.'

Vulpisfoglia smiled, "You and I have decided on dinner, so what will Little Suzuran eat?"

'It depends on what Little Suzuran wants to eat.'

Su Rui paused for a moment. "What do you mean by 'we'll wait for dinner to decide'? Both of these are for my dinner. You can think about it yourself."

"That won't do. It's not convenient to have a double dinner if you eat too much at night. You can eat it later."

Volume 7, Chapter 426: Vulpisfoglia: Don't Even Think About Escaping

Vulpisfoglia directly used her special privilege of being intimate with Su Rui to dispel Su Rui's plan to have a big meal and then be too full to move at night.

'I don't want to go hungry. How can I exercise if I'm not full?' Su Rui complained bitterly.

"It's not like I'm stopping you from eating. This hotel is open 24 hours. When you're hungry after exercising, we can arrange for a waiter to bring you a freshly made late-night snack."

Vulpisfoglia soothed Su Rui's bronze beard, one hand holding a sweet treat, the other a big stick. "Don't think I don't know your plan. First, cut back on one bag of milk. After you and I duo queue, you can eat as much as you want."

'That's quite a clever scheme.'

Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance, stood up from the soft bed and the warm embrace of Vulpisfoglia, and walked outside:

'Alright, I've finished looking at everything. I'm going out for a walk now.'

"Want to go out and exercise? Let's invite Suzuran along." Vulpisfoglia was worried about Su Rui and Suzuran's safety, and since they were going to exercise, she naturally wanted to be there for them the whole time.

Is it possible that I never intended to leave the hotel?

Su Rui turned to look at Vulpisfoglia: 'The top floor is quite large, and the view is very nice. Just walking around here will count as exercise.'

Is this level of exercise even considered activity?

"For me, yes. You have no idea what exercise means for someone who spends most of their time in enclosed spaces. Even just going outside for a few thousand steps is enough to leave my legs so sore the next day that I don't want to move."

As Su Rui spoke, she opened the bedroom door, intending to go out.

"Never mind, "Vulpisfoglia thought. "Since Su Rui doesn't want to go out, staying in the suite on the top floor isn't so bad."

Just as Vulpisfoglia was about to go out with Su Rui and take a look at Suzuran, Su Rui closed the door and went back into the bedroom. Then she looked up at Ren Dong with her head tilted to the side.

"What's wrong?" Vulpisfoglia asked, puzzled. Su Rui shouldn't be going back on her word over such trivial matters.

"It's nothing, I just noticed that Texas and the others came too."

Why are they here?

Vulpisfoglia with some confusion, "Does Texas know we're here, so they want to come and help?"

"No, Kong received a performance invitation from Syracuse, so he came here. Texas just came along as a side trip."

Vulpisfoglia nodded: 'In that case, there's no need to inform Texas and the others, right?'

"Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I don't intend to involve them. Let Texas enjoy her trip to Syracuse."

Su Rui shrugged, and just as he was about to open his bedroom door again, Vulpisfoglia reached out and grabbed him:

Let's go out together.

'Are you a girl at school? Do you have to hold hands and line up to leave your dorm?'

Su Rui glanced at Vulpisfoglia, and although his complaints were just lip service, he still let Vulpisfoglia pull him out of the room.

Suzuran was sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through the books provided by the hotel.

Su Rui sat down gently next to Suzuran, Suzuran looked up at Su Rui, waiting for him to speak.

"I found a nice theater, and they seem to be showing something interesting right now. Suzuran, would you like to come with me?"

"Okay." Suzuran nodded, then blinked her big eyes. "What kind of play is it?"

"Of course, it's a love-hate relationship between one or two people combined with a life-or-death struggle among a bunch of others."

Su Rui's description piqued Vulpisfoglia's curiosity: 'What play is it that caught your attention?'

The play is called "The Death of Texas," and Sora is one of the lead actresses. Texas will also be watching the rehearsals, but given her personality, she definitely won't actually participate.

Unexpectedly, this was how it turned out; Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

While it's certainly a bit inappropriate to smile at this moment, especially since Texas is her friend, this kind of scene is undeniably funny and makes you want to laugh.

Suzuran blinked and nodded. "What Dad said seems to fit the plot of many movies."

"You'll have to look into it carefully to understand the specifics; I'm just giving a general overview."

Night fell as they chatted back and forth. After noticing Su Rui's dinner, Suzuran looked at Su Rui with some confusion:

"Did Dad not have much of an appetite tonight?"

After all, Su Rui usually eats whatever she wants, so her eating so little today was quite obvious to the observant Suzuran of the Valley.

"Don't worry, I just ate too many snacks today, so I can't eat anymore."

Su Rui smiled and pinched Suzuran's cheek, "Little Suzuran, you need to eat more. You're growing right now, so don't worry about gaining weight from eating and sleeping."

Suzuran nodded, smiled at Su Rui, and continued to focus on her dinner.

Vulpisfoglia smiled and glanced at Su Rui, trying her best to keep the smile from being too obvious.

When Suzuran asked this question, Vulpisfoglia's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Su Rui might do something shady.

Fortunately, Su Rui was still very gentle and serious when dealing with Suzuran of the Valley, which relieved Vulpisfoglia.

So, let's be a little gentler when playing duo queue at night.

With this in mind, after dinner, everyone did some light exercise, and then Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia took Suzuran back to their bedroom.

"Speaking of which, Little Suzuran seems a bit tired today. Did she do something?"

Su Rui sat down next to Suzuran, who was now curled up under the covers, waiting for him to tell her a story.

Suzuran nodded. "Today I did my exercise as my mother asked, and I also read books and did my homework."

"I see." Su Rui nodded, glanced at Linglan with her Scanning Vision, and found that Suzuran had indeed done exactly what she said.

This surprised Su Rui somewhat, since he certainly didn't have the willpower to start reading and studying diligently on the first day after arriving at the hotel following a long trip. He definitely needed to find an excuse to slack off.

As a reward, Su Rui sang a lullaby to Suzuran, but to his surprise, when the lullaby ended, it wasn't just little Suzuran who had fallen asleep.

Vulpisfoglia, who was keeping Suzuran company with Su Rui, also looked drowsy. It wasn't until Su Rui stopped singing and looked at her carefully that Vulpisfoglia suddenly came to her senses, opened her eyes, sat up from the pillow she was leaning against, and looked at Su Rui.
